Running out of RAM using JsonObject

[supercnn]

Hello. I use an Arduino Uno R3 board and I try to collect some data from my solar panel and send it via "printTo()" to my ESP8266 board to finally send data o database.

CODE:

...
#include <ArduinoJson.h> // pentru transmiterea datelor
.... 

setup(){
...
  Serial.begin(9600);
...
}

void loop(){
 // POWER LOGGER
...
// SOLAR TRACKER
...
// SEND DATA TO ESP 
 JsonObject& root = jbuffer.createObject();
//   root["voltage"] = loadvoltage;
//   root[ "current"] = current_mA;
//   root["power"] = power;
//   root["energy"] = energy;
   root["v"] = 12; // DUMMY DATA 
   root[ "c"] = 50;
   root["p"] = 22;
   root["e"] = 33;
   root.printTo(Serial);
   root.remove("v");
   root.remove("c");
   root.remove("p");
   root.remove("e");
   Serial.println(); // clear buffer

// DELAY TIME = 1000ms
delay(delayTime);
}

and my serial monitor looks like this:

21:33:04.585 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:05.608 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:06.632 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:07.611 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:08.632 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:09.611 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:10.637 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:11.609 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:12.632 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:13.611 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:14.636 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:15.613 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:16.637 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:17.612 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:18.637 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:19.615 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:20.635 -> {"v":12,"c":50,"p":22,"e":33}
21:33:21.608 -> {"v":12}
21:33:22.629 -> {}
21:33:23.602 -> {}
21:33:24.628 -> {}

I running out of RAM ?

Sketch uses 12874 bytes (39%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 675 bytes (32%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1373 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Or what is the problem? How can I simplify ?

Your problem might very well be caused by something in another part of the code. Please post your full code.

}

I'm sorry that I used romanian language for comments but its my its for my graduation paper and I should do

I also run the sketch like this:

#include <ArduinoJson.h> // pentru transmiterea datelor


// VARIABILE PENTRU TRANSFER DE DATA
DynamicJsonBuffer jbuffer;

// delayTime
int delayTime = 1000; // in milisec

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
     // SEND DATA TO ESP8266
   JsonObject& root = jbuffer.createObject();
//   root["voltage"] = loadvoltage;
//   root[ "current"] = current_mA;
//   root["power"] = power;
//   root["energy"] = energy;
   root["v"] = 12;
   root[ "c"] = 50;
   root["p"] = 22;
   root["e"] = 33;
   root.printTo(Serial);
   root.remove("v");
   root.remove("c");
   root.remove("p");
   root.remove("energy");
   Serial.println(); // clear buffer

     // delay!
   delay(delayTime);
}

and I have the same issue.

I just use

   jbuffer.clear();

and it work ! <3 Thanks a lot!
